2.5 TDi (102 🐎)

I naturally expected it to be on some OEM or possibly aftermarket alloys. It’s still got the placca trims 👀

Yeah all the stereotypes are missing, no 18zzz, no stretched Sailuns, no flower chain on the mirror, no deliberate rust.

Seems like a pretty rare beast.

Now that looks nice.  So much better without Range Rover alloyz and cut springs.

LWB Caravelle?  I think they have a longer final drive ratio too- much more civilised

That looks great. First dibs when you want rid of it!

The last guy had it 14 years and I plan to do the same. It’s utterly fantastic in every way.

That is a lovely colour. In 2006 I went on a band trip to rural Normandy from Devon in a band member’s 2.5TDI Caravelle. 
Lovely engine and a very roomy, capable carrier of people. Nice velour seats I seem to remember.

After arriving back to Devon (ferry via Portsmouth I think) I jumped in my C4 Audi A6 Avant with the 5cyl TDI with only a slightly more powerful 115bhp and towed my stashed 2cv from my workshop in back of beyond Devon back to the North East. I do like a nice 5cyl. Best of luck with yours.
